Spalding Gray's The Anniversary (Part 2) & "Dear NYC"

A short piece the late Spalding Gray wrote about the day of the 10th anniversary of his marriage to Kathie Russo (Jan. 12, 2000). This was originally work shopped to "possibly" be a part of his final (and unfinished) monologue "Life Interrupted." The monologue is read by Pulitzer Prize winning playwright and Academy Award nominated actor Sam Shepard.

This second part also includes "Dear New York City," a short piece Spalding wrote after 9/11.

i miss him...

Oh Spalding, you left us much, much too soon. There are so many people that miss you deeply, even 5 years on.

Its so sad that he took is own life. He seemed like a brillient artist. I'm sure his wife and child miss him very much. These monalogs are great. His son will be able to remember his father through these monalogs.
